The Barchart Chart of the Day belong to the food products company Lancaster Colony (LANC). I found the stock by using Barchart to screen for stocks having a Weighted Alpha of over 50.00+ and technical buy signals of 80% or more. I then sorted by the stock having the most frequent number of new highs in the last month, then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy in 10/22 the stock gained 13.60%.
